Lady Wildflower said: “We are really excited about the show at Todmorden Hippodrome because it’s such a gorgeous venue. Everybody has been really helpful and we are really looking forward to working with them.

“We are also going back to the Little Theatre in Hebden Bridge. We love it there. We can’t thank them enough enough for their support.”

Among the star attractions at the 2014 festival is Kitten De Ville, a former winner of Miss Exotic World.

“She’s one of the most famous and respected performers in the world,” Lady Wildflower said.

There will also be local performers. Rosie Afterglow, from Mytholmroyd, is one of the finalists in the Legend in the Making newcomers’ competition, which aims to find the burlesque stars of the future.

The festival begins tonight with the Opening Night Shindig at Mytholmroyd Community Centre at 8pm, featuring Kiki Deville, who appeared on BBC One show The Voice earlier this year.
